Recorded at New York's Shea Stadium in 1982, Live at Shea Stadium captures the band at the peak of its

powers and on devastating form. Bristling with energy and attitude, Live at Shea Stadium is destined

to feature alongside James Brown at the Apollo, The Who at Leeds and Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison as

one of the greatest live recordings of all time!

 

The Clash, opening for The Who on their farewell tour of the US, played two nights at the legendary

Shea Stadium (October 12th and 13th of 1982). Despite being the support act, the New York Post reported

"there were as many Clash fans on those nights as Who fans".

 

allmusic.com says:

In Clash lore, the band's stint as the opening act for the Who's farewell tour in 1982 is where the

band had stardom in its hand and dropped it on the floor. That's how Joe Strummer phrased it in

retrospect, but in 1982 the pairing was seen as a rock cultural clash, with the Who's audience

bristling at the punks, and the punks not quite being comfortable operating on a larger scale --

a suspicion somewhat proven by the band's implosion within months of the Shea Stadium gig. Given

all the stories about how poorly received this tour with the Who was -- that the Clash were routinely

greeted by boos as they hopped from stadium to stadium across the U.S. -- it comes as a mild

surprise that this unearthed recording of the band's opening set at Shea Stadium isn't bad at

all. There were some signs prior to this 2008 archival release that this particular gig was

pretty good -- some of the cuts surfaced on the posthumous live 1999 comp From Here to Eternity

and the video to "Should I Stay or Should I Go" came from this gig -- but all the decades of

disastrous myths help turn Live at Shea Stadium into a pleasant surprise. That doesn't mean

that this is a definitive portrait of the Clash live, or even that it captures the band at

their best, but it's fascinating to hear how they pitched their set to the Who's audience,

only slowing down for the reggae of "Armagideon Time" and "The Guns of Brixton," but otherwise

sticking with high-octane, breathlessly paced rock & roll -- the kind of set designed to placate

a stadium full of classic rock fans, or at least keep them buying beer instead of throwing it.

As a historical document, it's a worthy one. It not only illustrates that the Clash did turn in

some strong performances on this often disaster-plagued tour, but it gives us the first officially

released Clash concert instead of the re-creation of From Here to Eternity. And if it's not all

terrific -- strangely, the Combat Rock songs can sometimes sound stiff, particularly

"Rock the Casbah" -- when the group clicks, as they do on a closing stretch that includes

"Career Opportunities," "Clampdown," "Should I Stay or Should I Go," and a furious

"I Fought the Law," they sound like the greatest band on earth and a sure bet to have blown

the Who off the stage.
